Time optimal control problem

In this example we will set-up a simple 4-state system, and find a time-optimal trajectory that avoids some obstacles in the world.

Problem setup


In [1]:
%matplotlib inline

In [2]:
from casadi import *
from pylab import *
from optoy import *

# Time
t = time()

# An optimization variable for the end time
T = var(lb=0,init=4)

# States: position and velocity
p = state(2,init=vertcat([3*sin(2*pi/T.init*t),3*cos(2*pi/T.init*t)]))
v = state(2)

# Control
u = control(2)

Specify the system dynamics as ODE


In [3]:
p.dot = v
v.dot = -10*(p-u)-v*sqrt(sum_square(v)+1)

Set up the path constraints


In [4]:
# Specify some parameters for circular obstacles
#            ( position,      radius)
#
circles = [  (vertcat([2,2]),      1),
             (vertcat([0.5,-2]), 1.5),
          ]

# List of path constraints
h = []
for center, radius in circles:
  h.append(
     norm_2(p-center) >= radius  # Don't hit the obstacles
  )

Solve the OCP problem


In [5]:
ocp(T,h+[p.start[0]==0],regularize=[0.1*u/sqrt(2)],N=30,T=T,verbose=True,periodic=True,integration_intervals=2)
